Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for determining a fuel savings in a preselected currency for a vehicle and a corresponding device.
- Operating supplies are all substances or resources that can be used to drive a motor vehicle. So fuels can
- the fuel price may be a kilowatt price.
- these aforementioned prices are to fall below the term fuel price.
- fuel prices are stated in a specific national currency per unit of quantity. In Europe e.g. in Euro / liter or Euro / kg or et / liter or et / kg. According to some implementations, the displayed
- Fuel prices in the apps are limited to a perimeter (km), to a grade of fuel (e.g., diesel or gasoline), and / or a particular brand of gas station.
- the result list displayed is often sorted according to the current fuel price / quantity, so that the user receives the lowest price per unit of quantity in the search he chooses. From this, the user can see the respective price advantage per unit of quantity of the respective fuel.
- the object of the invention is to determine the possible tank savings per refuel stop or refueling more accurately. This object is solved by the features of the independent claims. Preferred developments are the subject of the dependent claims.
- a method of determining a tanker savings for a vehicle initially involves determining a desired amount of fuel, that is, the amount that is to be fueled. In order to enable a comparison between possibly several gas stations, at least a first fuel price for a first gas station and a second fuel price for a second gas station is determined or determined. According to the embodiments described herein is further a
- Embodiments both a first increased fuel consumption by a drive from the current location to a first position of the first gas station and a second fuel increased demand determined by a drive from the current location to a second position of the second gas station. Then, the tanker savings using the desired amount of fuel, the first fuel price and the first
- Fuel consumption is taken into account by the drive from the current location to the position of the respective gas station, the accuracy of the determination of the possible tank savings compared to the previously known solutions is significantly increased. In some constellations, this can lead to the gas station being the largest
- Tankersparnis leads, another is, as in procedures that do not take into account this increased fuel demand. For example, this may be the case in a constellation where the gas station with the lowest fuel price is significantly further away from the current location than a gas station that has a slightly higher fuel price. Not taking into account the increased fuel consumption by driving from the current position to the respective gas station, the tank recommendation could therefore be pronounced for the more distant, cheaper gas station, although the fuel demand is higher than the absolute possible tank savings when using the slightly more expensive, but much closer Gas station.
- the Tankersparnis is determined by first
- Tank costs for the first gas station using the desired amount of fuel and the first fuel price and the fuel demand, as well as second
- Tank costs using the desired amount of fuel, the second
- Fuel price and the second fuel requirements are determined. For example, this may allow a user to consider not only absolute tank savings in their decision, but also how much the tank savings are relative to the absolute tank cost. This can greatly simplify decision-making when, for example, tank savings are a minimal fraction of the first or second tank costs that are required anyway.
- determining the desired amount of fuel includes determining a difference between a maximum storage capacity of a fuel storage and an amount in the fuel storage
- the maximum possible, currently fillable amount of fuel is determined based on which then the
- Tanker savings is determined. This can make it possible to achieve the maximum possible tank savings, as this is calculated based on the maximum additional amount of additional fuel consumable.
- determining the desired amount of fuel includes user input or read-out from memory. This can make it more flexible to determine the tank saving, since the user additionally has the possibility to set the desired amount individually, either by a stored, previously unique configuration or an adapted acute user input adapted to the respective current circumstances.
- the first gas station and the second gas station, for each of which the fuel prices are determined determined based on the current location and at least one search criterion. That is, those gas stations that are considered as possible gas stations at all, based on a
- Search criterion are determined. This allows, for example, a user to control the process even more precisely, for example by defining a predetermined radius and his current position within which the filling stations are taken into account. For example, based on another search criterion according to some
- Embodiments are also determined, the gas stations of which brand should be considered when determining the tank savings or not. This can be, for example be interesting if the user of the method or a corresponding device has fuel cards at the appropriate gas stations.
- the tanker savings are output on a display device, allowing the user to directly capture the tanker savings and make the tank decision quickly and intuitively.
- a display device on which the Tankersparnis is displayed for example, be a display that within the
- Vehicle is permanently installed, such as the display of an infotainment system or a display in the cockpit of the vehicle.
- the display device is a display of the mobile phone or a mobile terminal. This may allow the driver to already determine the tank decision or the possible tank savings, if he is not yet in his vehicle, which on the one hand
- Saving time after entering the motor vehicle can entail and also can reduce a loss of attention on the road when the fuel decision is taken in the vehicle.
- an amount of the amount of fuel stored in the fuel storage is transmitted from the mobile phone through a cordless one
- the wireless interface is, for example, a short-range radio link, such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, or the like.
- Alternative embodiments may use, for example, a WLAN connection between the mobile telephone and the vehicle, or a mobile data connection, such as an HSDPA or an LTE connection, for receiving the amount of fuel currently stored in the fuel storage from the vehicle.
- not only the tank saving but also the information about the first tank costs at the first filling station and the second tank costs at the second filling station are displayed on a display device. Furthermore, according to some embodiments, the first additional
- Fuel price for the first gas station and the second fuel price for the second Gas station which may allow the driver to make the decision even faster.
- Fuel price for the first gas station and the second fuel price for the second Gas station which may allow the driver to make the decision even faster.
- the tanker savings will, according to some others
- Embodiments also display a difference between each of the first fuel price of the first gas station and the second fuel price of the second gas station and the more expensive of the two fuel prices. That is, the difference between the most expensive fuel price and the fuel price of the currently viewed gas station is shown in absolute terms, which may facilitate the decision for a gas station to select.
- Tankersparn is displayed in absolute numbers, that is, in particular in a specified by a user of the system or the method or a predetermined currency unit as a total amount, so as a normalized not on a unit quantity size. This indication of absolute numbers allows the user to quickly find the cheapest gas station with the highest without any further consideration or calculation
- the possible tank savings result from a difference of the absolute tank costs when using the first gas station and the absolute tank costs when using the second gas station.
- the desired amount of fuel is added to the fuel demand resulting from the journey from the current location to the gas station concerned in order to arrive at an objective result. Based on this actual fuel demand per gas station (desired amount of fuel plus increased fuel consumption), the absolute fuel costs for each gas station.
- Fuel source such as a petrol station for gasoline or diesel refueling is performed, in which a vehicle from the determination of the possible tank saving the desired amount of fuel is supplied.
- this may be the maximum storage capacity (maximum tank capacity or maximum capacity of a battery) of the fuel storage.
- the fuel quantity to be tanked which is the basis of the determination of the tank costs for the gas station in question, for example, the difference of maximum
- the fuel price "selection” can be understood as meaning the most favorable fuel price that has been or can be determined within the respective grade and within a certain circumference of the current vehicle position and / or the fuel price of a selected or
- preselected gas station Such a selection can be made for example via a menu selection or a card selection. Further presettings or search criteria which serve to determine the possible filling stations can be, for example, the distance from the current location to the filling station, the brand, the operator or the distribution chain of the service station
- the additional distance can be calculated, for example, from the nearest gas station and / or from a less favorable gas station and / or the most expensive gas station in a given radius from.
